How does it feel to be the winner of our DJ competition and being flown out to Ibiza to play the combined We Love and Space closing party?Absolutely amazing, didn't believe it when I got the call. I thought it was a joke at first; it took a while to sink in. When I got in from work I checked the space closing line up and was proper made up, speechless with a massive smile. Thinking back to the first time I went to, We Love Sundays at Space in 2000 legendary, 22-hour parties dancing on the old terrace and how Space blew me away! The music and the people were so into it like I have never seen it before, such a cool international crowd. And now I get to play at Space one of the Best Clubs in the world. So so happy.
Why did you sign up to G-Shock’s Burlington Project and how do you feel the site is useful to up and coming producers and DJs?
Well basically a very good friend of mine told me about the comp (who's gonna be carrying my record bags!) And I just finished my latest mix and was quite happy with it so that was it; I didn't even have to think too much and uploaded it. I really like the track and mix charts, which is, are good promotional tools to get tracks and mixes heard. I've recently been listening to quite a few tracks on the producers chart, there's some really good unsigned music on there and even better exposure for producers when they get featured on the Burlington Sonica Podcast.
You had a lot of votes for your winning mix, do you have hundreds of friends or did you just pimp your mix online?
Of course hundreds of friends thanks to the world of Facebook and constant promoting and bugging people to vote. But it’s like having a house party, invite fifty people and only twenty come. So I got over one hundred votes so roughly 1 out 6 of my friends voted for me so big big thank you to all of them they helped massively. And to my mates who said they voted and never did it's OK, no worries.
What inspired the compilation of your mix?
Basically just tunes I was diggin in June, I wanted to start of deep but quite chunky and then get the groove going early and build up the mix from there.
Two days after I finished the mix I went to Cocoon in the Park and Steve Bug played 2 tunes off my mix then Luciano came on and played La Mezcla first time I heard it out everyone went mental. I was proper buzzing!
What can we expect from you musically on the closing party?
Uplifting Electro Bassline House …no only Joking!
Pretty much similar sounds to my mix "Prima Materia" and artists I'm diggin at the mo like Lauhaus, Alex Niggemann & Julien Chaptal. I've always loved the tribal sound so loving the Latin and percussive stuff of late with abit of soul n funk in it.
Which other DJ’s will you be checking out?
Steve Lawler, Tiefschwarz, Smokin Jo, 2manydjs, Paul Woolford, James Zabiela, Martin Buttrich, Jason Bye and Clive Henry and the list goes on its gonna be crazy! Oh and I nearly forgot Ryan O Gorman!
We are always looking for new ways to help DJs and producers promote their music online here at Burlington Project. What else would you like to see on our site that could help do this?
I think on the homepage on the left where you've got 3 charts top five mixes, tracks, networks maybe below that 2 more charts but for recently uploaded tracks and mixes to give them some exposure and a kick start.
You live in Leeds “The Ibiza of the North” in your words. There is indeed a very large contingency of Leeds ravers in Ibiza. Can we expect a big support crew in the Red Box for the closing party?
Leeds has a great scene and good clubbing community so I will b promoting like hell to get as many there as I can. So lets hope so!
